REFRIGERATOR.

Application filed June 20,

This invention relates to a combined water cooler and refrigerator, the general object of the invention being to so construct the parts that the chamber for containing the Water to be cooled surrounds the ice chamber and the articles to be cooled are placed in the top part of the ice chamber while the drain chamber is located under the ice chamber so that the said ice chamber is entirely I0 surrounded and the full cooling effect of the ice is made use of.

Another object of the invention is to so arrange the parts that the different chambers can easily be reached and to provide each chamber wit-h drainage means.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying F drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a front view of the invention.

Figure 2 is a section on line 22 of Fig ure 1.

Figure 3 is a section on line 3-3 of Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a section on line 44 of Figure 3.

As shown in these views, the device is formed with an inner casing 1 and an outer casing 2, the walls of the outer casing being constructed in part of insulating material and has its upper walls sloping inwardly to merge with the upper end of the casing 1. A cover 3 is provided for the inner casing which is also of insulated construction and a'hinged door 4 is placed in one of the sloping portions of the casing 2 for providing access to the water chamber which is formed by the two casings. The inner casing extends below the bottom of the outer casing and said casing is formed with a partition 5 which is provided with a drain 6 so that the water from the melting ice can pass from the ice chamber above the partition to the chamber below the partition which acts as a 1924.

drain chamber. This latter chamber is provided with a drain faucet 7 and an L-shaped passage 8 has its inner end connected with this chamber and its upper end is arranged at the front of the device and on a slightly higher level than the partition 5. This passage acts as a gauge for indicating the level of water in the drain chamber. A slatted partition 9 is removably placed in the ice chamber and forms a rest above the ice therein for articles to be kept cool. The water chamber is provided with a faucet 10 so that water can be removed therefrom and the drain chamber may be provided with an ad ditional faucet 11.

From the foregoing it will be seen that ice and articles to be cooled can be placed in the inner casing by removing the cover 3 and that water can be placed in the outer casing through the hinged door 4. This water will be kept cool by the ice as it surrounds the wall of the ice chamber and the drain chamber acts to prevent warm arm from reaching the bottom of the ice chamber.

The invention is primarily a water cooler and secondarily a refrigerator. The ice chamber is entirely surrounded by the water and articles to he keep cool so that its full cooling effect is made use of. The drinking water does not come in contact with the ice and this water may be placed in the cooler and removed therefrom without touching the refrigeration medium used in the device.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.

lVhat I claim is A combined water cooler and refrigerator comprising an inner and out-er casing, the lower end of the inner casing extending below the end of the outer casing, a horizontal partition within the inner casing above the plane of the bottom of the outer casing and forming a drain chamber in the lower end of the inner casing, a supporting rack arranged in a horizontal position and in spaced relation with said partition to form an article receiving chamber and an ice ing, said L-shaped Water passage being vchamber beneath the same, a cover for each adapted to act as a gauge for the drain of said casings, an L-shaped water passage chamber, and a faucet having connection 10 having its lower end communicating with with the interior of the outer casing as and 5 the drain chamber ande it snppepend-arfor the purpose.specified.
